#308 My [new] philosophy about photography

Once more I find myself in a creative dead end. I often do after a long, dark Swedish winter. What´s the point of taking pictures? What should I photograph? But – is it even necessary to have a point? I often find myself searching for a meaning – insted of just enjoying the process of…

#307 About a Picture

Just as we thought that spring was here – winter returns. Today we dozed in the sun and 12 degrees Celsius – tomorrow it will snow all day. Hopefully it will be gone again in a day or two. The picture is not from tomorrow – it is from earlier this winter. But I liked…

#306 Helsingborg in black and white

Waking up in Helsingborg this morning. When ever I have the time I take an early walk along the ocean. This morning was a perfect day for black and white photos. Started out with my Nikon F3 and a roll of Tri-X film. After a while I switched to the Leica M. The cloudy sky…

#305 About a Picture

This picture is from the last roll of my Leica M4. Wow how I regret selling that camera. I will get one again – I promise. When I do I will tell my wife to hit me in the head if I should put it out for sale. How stupid can a man get…

#304 The farmers are back

Finally the ”farmers market” is back in Linköping after a winter break. A nice tradition where we can buy food from the nearby farms instead of the boring stuff at the supermarket. It has become a sign of spring – even though the weather gods hasn’t decided about spring yet. I heard that the snow…

#303 About a Picture

I love the sea a windy day. When ever I can, I take my camera with me to try and capture the power of the sea. This time it was the Baltic Sea on the west coast of Gotland.

#302 About a Picture

Blue sky. Minus 6 degrees Celsius. Snow. A fantastic day. The water tower in our village is no beauty – but even that can be nice a day like this…

#301 Travel for work

I travel a lot in my work – not far, but quite often. It has become a way of life – both for me and my family. It has it’s ups and downs. The upside is that I get to meet and know a lot of great people all around our country, I get the…

#300 Timeless Tri-X

Found an unscanned black and white Kodak TRI-X in a box yesterday. Scanned it and found some pictures that felt timeless. They are shot in my birth town Helsingborg in december 2021…but at the same time I felt like they could have been pictures from one of my first TRI-X rolls in the 1980:s.

#299 About a Picture

The snow is gently melting away around our neighbourhood. Ice still covers the small country road where we often walk. The sun doesn’t fully reach it yet…but now it is only a matter of time. Still – it is only January and the winter will probably come back again…

#298 Trondheim by night

I had to take a short last walk around Trondheim before I headed home again. It had become dark outside – but that makes the city totally different… I only had to go right outside my hotel to find these nice blocks. I think I read somewhere that this is the worlds most northern tram….

#297 Golden Trondheim

As the sun raised above the horizon I walked around Trondheim city once more. During my blue hour morning walk I found some spots that I wanted to go back to. Bakklandet was one of them. To get to Bakklandet I had to cross the river Nidälva again. I don’t think it was warm steam…
